Plot Twists and Joysticks: Creative Storytelling in Videogames

In this workshop, we’ll explore how literature and videogames challenge traditional storytelling by requiring active participation from readers and players. We will define the key strategies employed in ergodic literature as a technique for writing interactive literature. We will then explore how interactive experiences in video games like The Stanley Parable blur the line between creator and audience. This workshop is perfect for the gamer, gaming-curious, and future game developer!
